Ozarks At Large

Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large

Sunday, January 12, 2014
Ahead on weekend Ozarks, how nurse practitioners will fill a potential shortfall of primary care physicians, the 2014 renovation plans for the Arts Center of the Ozarks, how Scrabble is being used as part of an annual fundraiser for the Literacy Council of Benton County, how one business is cashing in on the latest juicing craze and more.
Prior to playing the Ozark Mountain Music Fest, the band SX Rex stopped by our studio and played a few songs. Here is their original song "Am I Coming Through?".
Here is the list of clips for our Denver/Colorado montage. We'll have Seattle next week. 1. Ho Hey by Colorado-based band The Lumineers. 2. Robin Williams, as Mork, introduces himself to Boulder, Colorado (where the show was set). 3. Earth, Wind and Fire (with three Colorado natives) sings Boogie Wonderland. 4. Jack Nicholson crashes through in The Shining (at a Colorado hotel). 5. Voices from South Park, Colorado. 6. The song Colorado, My Home from the Broadway musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown. 7. Joan Collins and Linda Evans meet for the first time on the Denver-based soap opera Dynasty. 8. A 1970s commercial for Coors. 9. Colorado native Ralph Edwards surprises yet another celebrity on This is Your Life. 10. John Denver with Rocky Mountain High. Of course. Apologies to: Lon Chaney and Douglas Fairbanks (how do you get silent stars into an audio montage?) and Hattie McDaniel.
